LONDON. SATURDAY, AUGUST 2., 1810. Some Letters have reached town from Stockholm, of the date of the 17th instant, which again merr. , tion, in the shape of a rumour, that BBRNADOTTE is a Candidate for the succession to the Swedish Throne, and state that he has a better chance of success than the King of DENMARK, who is ex tremely obnoxious. The Duke of AUGUSTEN BURGH appeao to be the greatest favourite, but neititer of the three are popular. It is not yet 11 , )w. ever ascertained with certainty that BERNA - • DuTTE is really a Candidate for the SWedish Diadem, nor has any thing futtlicr transpired respeeting the' jo,,rocy of GUSTAVUS 10 the North. But in Let ters from Gotteonurgh, of the 13th, it is as s erted, that a great uiijority in three out t,f the four States bad declared for the Duke of AUGUSTENBURGH ; that they were ail unanimous in their of position to the King of Delimaik ; and that the orders of the Clergy and the Peasants had declared against BER t.I)O rrz ; the first, it is said, on account of his re and the latter because he was a Frenchman. It we are to believe therefore these latter authorities, BEE NADoTTE was aaually in the list of Candidates, but has ltttle chance of success, and the King of D.:ninark still less. We cannot, however, plice im plicit reliance on intelligence thus transmittLd in pri vate letters . , and must wait for more accurate infor" [nation. It is certainly_lrighly probable that a large . wijoiity of the Swedish Nation would indigna sly rejeEt both the King of DENMARK and BERNADOTTE, but we much doubt whether NAPOLEON will , suf fer the election to pass off so q..-ietly. After a profound consideration of three days, The Morning Chronicle (we should nut have referred to the Paper by name, if it bad not expressly men tioned The Sun) has thought proper this day to ad vert to what we said on Tuesday last respe&ing the inconsistency which marked the public charaeler and conduB of Mr. Fox, and consequently the im possibility of Supposing that the Heir-apparent to the British Crown would, as presumptuously and indecently ch irged upon his Royal Highness, have deemed the principles of that man a proper basrs fist the political Creed which his Royal Highness rni 6 ht wish to i npres . § upon the mind of his illus trious oft - swing. 'The Morning Chronicle has been too hasty in its reply, though it has taken full three day stn consider the subjetl. But as it is very probable th,t it would in vain have taken threeyears to devise a b..tttr answer, it would certainly have been wiser in it to let the subjee.4 drop altogether. Vie did not introdece it—and we should have said nothing about Nr. F .x, to disturb his memory in its progress to obli vion, (the hest fate that could await it) if the Paper in quo-Con had not revived his name and principles, in order to wake what we shall always consider as a most reprehensible at tack upon the charaBer of the Ptu NCE of WALES. We repeat, that Mr. Fox, on several oc cailons, asserted, " that the resistance of the reople to the authority of Government was merely a ques tion of prudence, and should be estimated by their power," Now, we egain ask, " Is this a proper cpi nii,n to form part of the political creed of one who may hereafter he invested with the Crown of these Realms ?" No man of sense, no man of reflection, no man who understands the true principles of the British Constitution--no man who reveres lawful au thority ; no man who has perused the records of his tory, or obseived the events of the passing day, will receive suds a doarine with any feeling but that of alarm and disgust, if not horror,w hen it is inculcated by s man who contrived to obtain a considerable share of popular favour. This doarine contains the preg nant seeds of JACOBINISM (we are not afraid to re vive the word) and constitutes a defence of that hi deous Revolution in France, which brought a vir tuous Monarch to the block, as well as his unfor tunate Queen and amiable daughter, and which has rendered the whole Royal Family fugitives and de pendents. This doctrine is indeed the germ of uni versal insurrection. Can it then fore moment, we ask again, be supposed, that the prince of WALES, who, by all reports, possesses a sound and enlightened mind, would seleB such a do&rine to govern the political conduB of his successor ! The question is an insult to his illustrious chara&er, and we should be asham ed of having proposed it, unless in defence of that illustrious charaCler. But we are told that our quo tation from Mr. Fox's speech is " not made with lecrtrney," and the Writer then thinks proper to ive his own repre3ent3tion of what Mr. Fox said, which he attempts to qualify by a most indecent supposition, that " if the Government of these king doms should at any time depart so completely from the fundamental principles of the Constitution, as to Attempt to deprive the . -people of the privileges for which their ancestors bled, and fur the mainte nance of which the illustrious family of BRUNS wIcK was called to the throe*, it would be clear that obedknce 'would be only a matter of pru dence?' Mr. Fox we are told put this opinion hy pothetically, and this is the explanation which the Morning Chronicle has given of his hypothesis. But an hypothesis implies a something different from the real state of things; and if it was not a matter of fad at the time, that the present family on the Throne had "departed f . rom the fundamental principles of the Constitution, for which our ancestors bled, and for the maintenance of which that Family was called to the Throne," what right had Mr. Fox to utter so daring and so indecent a supposition ? But why did not the Morning Chronicle give the very words Of Mr. Fox ? Surely i!s reverence for his charaeler and memory must induce it to suppose that his language is better than its own, and in that case he would have justified himself, if his position could admit of justification. The Writer concludes his attack upon THE Sur:, by a long extract from the Address in this Paier•of yesterday, which is said to have been circulated in klolland and we are ac.cused of inconsistency, be cause we condemned Mr. Fox's mischievous hypo thesis, and yet inserted that Address. We are ut terly at a loss to conceive where the inconsist ency lies ; we are indeed told, that " it is extremely curious to see the advocates for un conditional submission at home, thus preach, the doarine of insurreaion to foreign nations !" We pity the dull, weak; ignorant writer that can see no distinaion between a .firm support of the legitimate government in thiS country, on our prirt, and an exhortation from an oppressed people, con tained in a supposed foreign address, not to advise other stiles to.throw off their lawful governments, not to be guilty of insurreaion,as the Morning Chro. nide so absurdly states, but to rouse them ag:tinst a monster whohas usurped the Government of France, who has overturned that of many other nations, and who wishes to reduce the whole world beneath his tyranny. Another heavy firing on the coast of France was heard yesterday at Dover, but we have been un able to ascertain the cause. An article under the head of Bern-, in a German piper,. states, " that the Empress JOsEPHINE" is at the baths of Aix, where she was visited on the 9th ult. by her son, EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS, Viceroy of Italy. He went for the purpose from Secheron, near Geneva, where he arrived with his consort the preceding day. JOSEPHINE returned the visit at Secheron on the t ith, and went back to Aix on the 12th. EUGENE and his consort, after these short interviews with his discarded parent set out on the 12th on. their return to Italy. The late convulsion iu the mercantile world has g.'en rise to a project of a new Joint Stock Coiop;iny, %on a capital of five mtions, under the title of " the Com.nercial Loan and Interest Company." It ig to be divlded into three branches : 1. The Deposit Branch, for a general accommo dation on real property, the profit of whic!) to accu mulate at compound interest. 2. Interest B-anch, by which persons may de posit sniall sums, and receive the Company's bills, bearing interest. 3. Credit Branch, by which Subscribers may draw at 183. days, 9 or 12 months date on the Com pany, for three-fourths of the amount of his stock, upon his cpgnovit to provide for the same three clays before the period of his bills•—by this his capital i 3 to be made oak e. The plan has many details, and it is said that three of the nest charaEters in the, City patronize the plan . A meeting has been held by the Portuguese mer chants, to consider of what steps ought to taken, in consequence of the new sipaation of affairs affect-7 ing their trade from various causes, both with Europe .and the Brazils. The assembly was cnn- vened by, a circular letter, and all the principal merchants in that interest were invited to attend. Some of these Gentlemen represented the different connectionsat Lisbon, Oporto, the Madeiras, Rio Janiero, Bahia, Pernambuco, &c. After a protracted conference, in which- an enlarged view was taken of affairs as affected by the late treaty, a Commit tee of five respectable individuals Nvis appointed to draw, up the bye-laws, and a subsequent day was nominated to take such regulations as should be recommended into consideration. At the second meeting, it , is intended to propose that a deputa tion of Merchants should wait on the Portuguese Ambassador, to stale to hint Inch matters of commercial nature as appear to' require his inter ference. Brigadier-General BLUNT, of the Buffs, now serv ing with the Portuguese, is appointed Governor of Peniche, a place of considerable strength, about 2 miles north of Lisbon. The LORD CHANCELLOR, yesterday morning, at tended at Lincoln's-inn Hail, to arrange several mat ters between the Solicitors and the Registers, rela tive to his Lordship's orders.

Two passengers, Mr. ROBLNSoN' and Mr. M`GILLIGAN, and myselt, with tour hands, went ashore in the boat. We had not been lung ashore when the Moors came down and fired on the boat. M'G. one man, and myself, were at ;his'time a little up the country, but alarmed at the firing, ran down to the beach, when we perceived our companions rowing off, and we were obliged to conceal our selves among the rocks all night. At day-light, we were surprised by the Moors corning down. upon us, so that our last elfbrt was to swim off to some fish ing bouts, which lay about a mile and a halt from . the shore, w hich I accomplished after being about an hour and a halt in the water ; but I arn sorry to say, M‘GILLIGAsr sunk along side of me ; t:►e man lett behind, we suppose, has been taken prisoner ; one of the boys, named ANDREW ADAMS, was shot on the beach." The preparations for receMng BOONAPARTE in Holland, we are informed by a Gentleman who left that country a few days ago, are carried on with extraordinary activity, and on a scale Of expense that will bear heavily upon the inhabitants. Some hunched of artisans of various kinds were emplcyed to render the palace, appointed for 'his residence, as magnificent and commodious as possible. Several houses had been rased, for the purpose - of•enlerging and improving the view from thence. The accom modation and satisfaaion of BUONAPARTE were not alone consulted, but care was also taken to provide for the personal convenience of those who May ac company him in his journey. Bills were affixed to several houses belonging to persons of the first can -sideration, stating, " tint their fin met occupiers had bean abliged to remote, for the purpose of accorn modating the Emperor's suite !" A young Naval Lieutenant lately wrote a letter to Mr. YoRKE, First Lord of the Admiralty, otfermg him tuOul. to get him made Comminder. It, is needless to say that the latter was much exasperated at this insulting propositon. In consideration of the inexperience of the applicant, however, he did not strike his name off the list altogether, but dispatched a letter to Sir EDWARD PELLEW, desiring him to summon the youngster before him, and after a se vere reprimand, to place tutu at the bottom of the list.
